I was thinking about the same. From the viewpoint of implementing this into the wiimc, at least to me isn’t a good idea.

For me it should be implemented in somewhere else, like an scraper to keep wiimc neat, since cuevana.tv is just one of all those media linking web sites.
The effort must be put on VLCshares as well as other custom solutions.

There is already a scraper for cuevana.tv written in Python, my idea was to reuse the code for scrape cuevana and create a dynamic .plx file, that could be used for instance with an addition to a VLC coder for megavideo (because the HD issues of decoding for wii).

I had faced the same problem.
Wiimc is not able to parse Navi-X processors yet.

To solve that I’ve created a scraper for youtube playlists that create a plx file in which entries are URLs pointing to youtube videos.

At least for youtube, YOU CAN’T HOST the scraper REMOTELY.

Each page impression of youtube, changes by your geographical/network location, i.e. the same youtube video depending in where you are should have a different URL, but you need the right one in order to watch. So the solution
is scrape from your local network.

As I told you I wrote an script that runs on a HTTP server I have in my local network. Then I put an entry in the wiimc that queries the scraper to generate a dynamic created playlist from youtube, and works perfectly.

If you want I can provide you the code. For the HTTP server side configuration, you must know how to do it.
